Why is it masculine?

Balconi is masculine. While the word does derive from Germanic roots (Old High German "balko," meaning beam or plank), the primary reason for its masculine gender in Italian is the masculine -one suffix, which is a productive masculine diminutive/augmentative suffix in Italian. The word entered Italian through Romance languages and the -one suffix is the determining factor for masculine gender in this case.
